Enhancing Images in Poor Lighting Conditions Through Fusion of Optical and Thermal Camera Data
The goal of the article is to provide a methodology of improving images quality in low-light conditions trough fusion of data received from telecamera and thermal camera. Data from thermal camera uses for compensation of significant illumination reduction in poor lighting conditions and allow keep required level of information. Proposed method establishes dynamic regulation of fusion coefficients depending on brightness level to minimize artifacts, increase edge sharpness, and improve object detectability.
